About this tool
Frame rate is how many pictures are shown per second. Film uses 24, PAL television 25, most phones 30 and gaming or sports 60. Some platforms require a specific rate; others just work better with a lower one. Reducing 60 fps to 30 halves the number of frames and makes the file smaller.
Converting to a lower rate drops frames. Converting to a higher rate repeats frames, which matches a platform's requirement but will not make motion look smoother, because no new in-between frames are created. The result page tells you when that is the case.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab using your own device's video hardware. Your file is never sent to ToolsCrow or anyone else, which also means there is no waiting for an upload and it keeps working if your connection drops after the page has loaded.
Is it really free? Is there a watermark?
It is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits. The only limits are the ones your device sets: memory and processing power.
How large a video can I use?
Because the video is processed on your device, the limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota. Phone clips of several hundred MB are fine on most devices, and desktop computers usually handle 1 to 2 GB. Files over about 4 GB are not supported.
Which browsers work best?
Current Chrome, Edge and Safari (16.4 or newer, including iPhone and iPad) work best because they include the WebCodecs video engine. Recent Firefox versions work for many files. Older browsers fall back to a much slower real-time mode or may not work at all.
Will 60 fps look smoother than 30 fps after conversion?
Not from a 30 fps source. Converting up repeats frames; smoothness comes from the original recording rate.
Which frame rate should I use?
Use 30 fps for general use, 24 for a film look, 60 for fast action recorded at 60, and 15 for small screen recordings or GIF-style clips.
